This was taken from the walls of the dam and looking down on the other day's picnic spot. You can see the red iron ore in the hills in the background.

11:12 Maen! One guess, probably at the point where Steve said there was a 'very pretty step' (which I didn't see or look for!) :)

Ap - I took this photo when I was up north at Christmas time. The colours there are quite different to down my way in Albany.

11:12; thanks for an easy tough Gath, I could get to Anne's picture without losing my mind. Couldn't get to yesterday's pic though, but given your record so far Anne, I'd say it was beautiful.

Good afternoon to all! Another very nice picture Anne. The north country still looks a little bleak. With the iron ore showing on the surface, is the mining for the ore done as open pit?

24:49 Keep the pictures coming Anne. Thank you. No guesses. It is unusual for me to do a tough without guesses. I'm going to check out Steve's blog. I can usually do a hard in 10 to 15 but I think this is only the second tough I finished without guessing. I usually don't even take the time to try the tough ones.

Greg, yes, the iron ore is mined in open cut mines. About 25 years ago we toured a couple of the mining towns and saw a couple of the mine sites. They were huge and so were the iron ore trucks. An interesting experience.
